I am terrified as to what will happen once she is 19 - or should I say 'what will not happen'. All major services just end services she has received all her life. What I wouldn't give to have her cured and not be in the need of CLBC but that isn't in the cards so something has to be done to help. She is my daughter and while I am able I will fight for her it is when I am gone that I worry - with what is happening now - how can parents try to make sure their don or daughter is happily settled - when every year more and more is taken away or the word they like to use is CHANGED.<br /><br />Great article - sad but true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-23187918282829723942011-06-23T07:20:24.497-07:002011-06-23T07:20:24.497-07:00But you have to remember that these kids get bette...But you have to remember that these kids get better by 19 so they don't need any help or supportAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-66864115513926510802011-06-21T12:22:51.968-07:002011-06-21T12:22:51.968-07:00JP wrote: The creation of CLBC in 2005 was suppose...JP wrote: <i>The creation of CLBC in 2005 was supposed to improve things.</i><br /><br />No. The creation of CLBC, and all the other 'arms length' agencies the BC Liberals created, is to distance government from the bad press. <br /><br />"Not our fault ferry fares are going up, it's that bad crown corporation: we can't do anything about raising ferry fares." cried the poor transportation minister.<br /><br />"Not our fault there are retards on the road, we can't do anything, it's that bad CLBC!" exclaimed a befuddled Bloy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-47104596195615665692011-06-20T23:36:04.108-07:002011-06-20T23:36:04.108-07:00Very well said.
